Dubai-based private property developer Omniyat announced on Monday the launch of a new $1.9 billion (Dh7 billion) project at the Monaco Yacht Show. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), the Alba Residences offer a variety of units including two-bedroom furnished, three-bedroom unfurnished, and three or four-bedroom simplex, duplex units, and penthouses. The project will provide private sanctuaries on the Eastern Crescent of Palm Jumeirah, offering stunning views of Dubai Marina, Burj Al Arab, and Burj Khalifa.
“The Alba, Dorchester Collection, Dubai, embodies OMNIYAT’s vision of reimagined luxury by the sun and sea in Dubai. With this project, we’re introducing a level of residential living that has not been seen before in the emirate, influenced by the remarkable talent and inspirational ethos of Zaha Hadid Architects and operated by our longstanding partner, Dorchester Collection,” said Mahdi Amjad, founder and executive chairman of Omniyat.
“This project is particularly special as it offers a harmonious blend of nature and cutting-edge design. Dubai’s charm and lifestyle are deeply rooted in its seaside location, and The Alba – with Omniyat’s signature focus on crafting privacy-centric spaces – will further enhance this experience,” he added.
Christopher Cowdray, President of Dorchester Collection, commented: “The Alba marks our next luxury chapter in Dubai. Each space will be a sanctuary within an exclusive enclave, offering residents and guests both privacy and serenity. This next-level lifestyle and hospitality experience will be combined with the impeccable service of Dorchester Collection; our culture is built on the care we have for our guests and people, a quality that has been globally recognized. With panoramic views across the sea and the city’s iconic landmarks, The Alba will redefine luxury through exceptional design in an environment where nature and wellness converge.”
Guests and residents will also enjoy Dorchester Collection’s first garden retreat by the sea, featuring expansive private terraces and wellness offerings. The Alba will become the twelfth Dorchester Collection hotel globally and the second in the Middle East region, following The Lana, Dorchester Collection, Dubai.
